The oldest daughter of revered composer/conductor Leon
ard Bernstein offers a rare look at her father on the centennial of his bi
rth in a deeply intimate and broadly evocative memoir. Bernstein mines the
emotional depths of her childhood and invites us into her family’s privat
e world. A fantastic set of characters populates the Bernsteins’ lives\, i
ncluding: the Kennedys\, Mike Nichols\, John Lennon\, Richard Avedon\, Ste
phen Sondheim\, Jerome Robbins\, and Betty (Lauren) Bacall. An intoxicatin
g tale and an intimate meditation on a complex and sometimes troubled man\
, the family he raised\, and the music he composed that became the soundtr
ack to their entwined lives.

The story of one brave
father’s determination to bring his daughter’s murderers to justice throug
h the American justice system. Stephen M. Flatow says he was “just a real
estate lawyer in New Jersey” until April 9\, 1995. Flatow’s life changed t
hat day when he learned his daughter Alisa\, a twenty-year-old college stu
dent traveling in Israel\, had been the victim of a terrorist bus-bombing.
After he discovered the Iranian government had directly sponsored the bom
ber\, Flatow decided to sue the terror state.
